All language subtitles for Road To Avonlea s05e08 Someone to Believe In

All right, let's see. Soup, biscuits,
milk, cheese, apples, and canned

Oh, Mother, how do I look?

Why? Aren't you feeling well?

Oh, no. I mean, how do I look for Gus?
He's sick. You're taking him food.

not going out dancing.

Well, I didn't expect you to understand.

You look lovely.

Want an honest answer?

Yes, that's why I asked Mother.

Where's Cecily? Cecily!

Well, Janet, how do I look?

Oh, you look lovely, too. Thank you.

Where are your older stepfather?

Well, John Hodgson arrives today.

Our nation's next prime minister.

That's right.

I'd cast my vote for him if I had one.

Oh, he'll carry this area with no
problem. Everyone knows he built the

across the Oldsbury River.

Oh, remind Mr. Tremaine to send a man
down to the flag stop to pick up Mr.

Hodgson's luggage.

Aren't you meeting him?

I am.

Why don't you just put the luggage in
the back of the wagon?

He's here to stay at the best hotel on
the island. He deserves a proper

Unless you don't want the future prime
minister to speak well of the White

Sands.

You know, Father, you have a real feel
for the hospitality business.

If you ever get bored of farming, I
could put in a good word for you.

Goodbye, Felix.

Bye.

Master Felix, today you are to be our
head waiter.

Thank you, sir.

I take it you're pleased with my work?

That and the fact that Gus Pike is a
nasty head cold.

Oh. In fact, we are badly understaffed.
You'll have to continue your regular

duties as well.

Two jobs?

Three. I also need you to train the new
waiter.

What new waiter?

Felix King.

Albert Wertz. Good to see you again.

What is that?

A safe.

What a thought.

Change into this and go to the dining
room.

Felix will join you presently.

Hope I don't regret this.

But with four stars sick, I thought I'd
give the lad a chance. He's been after

me to work here for some time.

He loves the hotel business too, huh?
That, and he needs the money.

Champagne glasses, wine glasses, water
glasses, cordial glasses. Slim ones are

for porch, fat ones are for brandy, and
these are... For beer.

Finally, something I recognize.

Knives are easy.

Dinner knife, butter knife, salad knife,
fish knife, and meat knife.

Five knives to eat with?

Oh, and there are forks.

Fish forks, dessert forks, dinner forks,
salad forks, and oyster forks.

Oyster forks?

Gee, back home we just sort of... There
are a lot of rich

folks here, eh?

Yeah, most of them are picky.

I'll show you how to set a table.

Whoa!

And how is Master Albert doing?

Finding good, sir.

Finding good.

Dinner knife?

Meat knife?

Fish knife?

salad knife, and butter knife, and fish
fork, dessert fork, dinner fork, salad

fork, and oyster fork.

Very good.

Gentlemen, I would like to remind you
that everything must be perfect for Mr.

John Hodgson's arrival.

I almost forgot. Mr. Tremaine, my father
asked me to remind you to send a man

over for Mr. Hodgson's luggage.

Oh, uh, Master Felix, pick up Mr.
Hodgson's luggage.

Yes, sir.

It's always a pleasure to come back
here.

What a beautiful island.

You're lucky to call it home.

My second cousin lives in Hillsdale, you
know.

Mr. Hodgson!

Mr.

Hodgson, Alec King.

Alec King.

Very good to see you.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Oh, you're on time. The train was early.
Something's working in this country

after all.

Indeed.

Oh, I'd like you to meet my son, Felix.

He works at the White Sands where you'll
be staying.

Oh, there's two good points in your
favor. I've heard wonderful things about

White Sands and about your father.

Thank you, sir. I'll get your luggage.

Now, let me tell you what we've got
arranged, Mr. Hodgson. Call me John,

you? I can't tell you how pleased I am
that you agreed to help organize this

of my campaign.

Oh, it's been my pleasure.

Father, wait!

Don't leave me behind. How will I do
such a thing with my daughter Adeline?

Hello. Tell me, Alec.

A paternal aide from Renville contacted
you. Oh, yes.

And the delegation of fishermen meet
with you at three, the mayor at four o

'clock, and, um... Well, the retail
merchants wanted to know if they could

with you. Oh, of course they can.

Now, don't worry. There's lots of time
for you to get settled in here before

your first meeting.

Mr. Hodgson, as proprietor of the White
Sands, I welcome you to our...

I'm sorry.

I welcome you to our... Though Mr.

Houghton was once our Minister of
Health, surely it's not the slightest

in your particular germs, Simon
Tremaine.

Hetty King, how do you do, and welcome
to the White Sands.

And is this your charming wife, Alec?

No, no, it's my sister.

And, more importantly, part owner of
this establishment. So, if you have any

needs or wishes, Mr. Hodgson, please
don't fail to advise me.

Well, come now.

Your room is this way.

In 1820.

1820. As soon as the luggage is up,
Felix, fetch Mr. Hodgson a cold drink,

you? Or a nice cup of tea.

Tea will be fine.

And the newspapers, and check for
messages.

Oh, of course.

Felix, here we are.

Where's my room?

Oh, gracious.

Who might this be?

It's my daughter, Adeline. She will need
a room.

Do you have something across the hall?

We didn't know she was coming.

Make sure that that room is vacated.

But... Miss Milling's back. No.

Don't be sad. Come on.

Well, Charles, I think it must be about
my sanity.

Mrs. Milling, are you all right?

Has someone disturbed your room?

No.

I was just tidying up.

Oh.

Well, I'm terribly sorry. There's been a
big mix -up, and I was wondering if I

could move you up to the next floor.

I just got everything organized.

Well, we'll pack and unpack and tidy up
everything.

No. I couldn't walk up and down the
stairs.

Not in my advanced years.

What if the room were free?

If you insist.

Well, I do.

Thank you. Oh, Miss Milling.

How long were you planning on staying?

The month.

Please be careful. I hate to lose
anything.

Oh, be careful of that.

That's my shell collection.

Oh. Allow me.

We're almost done.

Here, dear.

Thank goodness I travel light.

Braised lettuce with pandas.

Garlic soup.

Cow's brains.

In red wine with onions and mushrooms.

Roast duck with apple stuffing.

Oh, no, no, no.

Pierre Lapierre.

The man who will one day be prime
minister must, of course, be served our

specialties. Ecoutez.

He was ambassador to France.

Finally, we have a guest who knows
cooking isn't only for the stomach. It

the eyes, the mouth.

No. Well, then, this is for your ears.

Clam chowder.

After the dinner, we'll serve tea and
cakes.

And then Assemblyman Grant will
introduce you. He'll talk for ten

Tell him three at the most. That way
he'll gab for ten.

And I'll speak before the tea and the
cake.

The last thing the audience will be
thinking about is the cake, so they'll

home happy.

Alec.

You have done an excellent job.

Just helping out with a good cause.

Well, I would like a little more help.

Now, it's not common knowledge yet, but
the incumbent for your district will not

be running for re -election next term.

I'd heard something about that. Daniel
Stewart's retiring.

Yes. And the party is looking for a
solid candidate to run for his seat.

I've heard many good things about you,
Alec.

Seen many good things.

I think you should give some thought to
being that candidate.

Me? Well, you have a reputation across
the island for hard work and decency.

People will back you.

They like you. You'd make an excellent
candidate.

I've never even considered life in
politics.

Well, it's time you did.

That's about all.

Anything else I can do?

No, thank you.

Anything I can get you?

No, you're very kind.

There's nothing.

Would you like me to show you around the
hotel?

No, actually, I'm looking forward to
spending some time with my father.

Would you like to stroll to the village?

I'm exhausted from the train ride.

I need a nap.

Then I'll let you sleep and we can get
together for tea.

I have meetings all afternoon, dear.

What about dinner?

I'm not sure yet.

We'll see.

I was right.

But what?

You and that girl with the beautiful
eyes.

What about her?

I saw her.

I saw you sawing her.

That's what we call lovesick.

I'm not lovesick. No, no, don't worry.

It's not serious.

The best cure for a lovesick man,
besides a lovesick woman, the best cure

the most genius scientists say...

is a chive and basil omelette. Tom,
basil and chive, please.

Michael, the eggs.

Ah.

The key to spices is putting them in as
late as possible. Otherwise, you

cook away the oil inside, and that's
where the bouquet is.

Thank you.

Felix, she is a beautiful young lady,
and you are a very handsome young

man.

Find something you have in common.

Oh, excuse me.

I realize that the dining room is
closed, but I was hoping perhaps I could

bite to eat.

The food on the train was very poor.

No, I'm much, much, much too busy.

Here.

She's our guest.

It is out of the question.

You're already making... Well, if you
think it's so important, you do it.

I can make you an omelet.

Would you?

Be ready in no time.

Try some basil?

Yes, I love basil.

You do?

So do I.

You cook?

No, but I want to learn.

The key is putting the spices in at the
very last.

Otherwise you cook all the oils out and
that's where the bouquet is.

You make it look easy as wink.

Mr. Tremaine.

Mr. Tremaine.

A cameo brooch was given to me by my
maternal grandfather in 1838.

Well, this is wonderful news, but is
there any reason I should know about it?

It's been stolen from my room.

Tell me, mademoiselle, your father is
well -traveled.

He's been to China, India, southern
Africa.

Then he has a sophisticated palate.

What is his favorite food?

Clam chowder.

Felix, you're a terrific cook.

I hope to open my own restaurant
someday.

Well, I'll be your first customer then.

Would you like some more water?

Yeah, please.

Ask her to go for a walk.

I couldn't do that.

Why not?

She liked the omelet. That doesn't mean
she likes me.

How can you find out if you don't ask?

She doesn't like me. I don't want to
find out.

Your name may be King, but you act like
a prong.

Do you mean pawn?

Pawn. Prong.

Are you going to do it or not?

Um, Felix, would it be too much to ask
if you could show me around Avonlea

tomorrow?

I guess I could fit it in.

Felix?

Excuse me.

It wasn't in your former room. You're
sure you had it here at the hotel?

Absolutely.

Did you pack it yourself?

My grandfather told me to.

Your grandfather told you to bring it to
the White Sands?

Mm -hmm.

He's alive?

Of course not.

I spoke to him through a necromancer on
his 140th birthday, and he told me to

bring it.

Now, why would my grandfather want me to
lose it?

I... I don't know.

I'm a consultant. I fight it.

Who else was in the room when you were
moving it?

Albert. Albert?

No.

He's probably sitting in her house in
Boston.

Well, it's a ludicrous notion.

I mean, even if I could get elected, I
don't want to live in Ottawa.

Well, we'd have to. It's the capital.

But we're island folk. Our roots are
here in Avonlea. Yeah, but it'll only be

for a few years.

Well, I'd have to hire a hand to help
run the farm, for Pete's sake.

Oh, I know how you'd miss farming.

Yes, I would.

But farm communities need more
representation in government.

Imagine. Having an influence, not just
over 300 acres, but a whole magnificent

country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.

A lot harder to run 300 acres.

Well, running a government, running a
farm, it's not that different.

Nothing's ever static. You're either
tending it and improving it, or it's

running down.

There's truth in that, Alec.

There's one thing I would change.

That's the way the railroad does
business on the island. The freight

just out of hand.

But then railroads have powerful
influence in the government.

Farmers need someone to speak for them.

And you could do something for farmers'
wives.

Help women get the vote.

Oh, I'm getting carried away. Why am I
even talking about this?

Well, I can't imagine why, unless... Of
course, you're considering it.

How do I look?

You look lovely, Felix.

Oh, you look handsome. Very handsome.

Just like your father.

Your mother needs glasses, but I'll
never let her get them.

What's the occasion, Felix?

Nothing special.

I'm taking your bike today.

Well, what's wrong with yours?

Nothing.

Brothers are so cute when they're
little.

Thank you, Albert.

The tea didn't cool in the time it took
you to get it here from the kitchen.

Sorry, Miss King.

I dropped the first part.

Now, I have here for your perusal a
preliminary report on the fundraising

dinner.

Oh, will you excuse us, Adeline?

Yes, Father.

It's interesting. You know, many of the
family names were for settlers on the

island.

Of course, we hope to sell additional
tickets.

Though it might prove a trifle
difficult.

Farmers' profits have been slimmer than
second pickings this year, I'm afraid.

I do have a complete accounting to
prepare to.

Where did I put it?

Is there a problem?

My handbag.

Mr.

Tremaine.

Mr. Tremaine.

Oh, good morning, Mr... The purse has
been removed.

Taken.

Stolen.

A little grey purse with a ten dollar
bill in it.

Proceeds from the Valley Ladies'
Auxiliary. It was here and now it isn't.

Wasn't it, Mr Hudson?

I'm afraid I didn't see it.

Perhaps you missed it.

Perhaps, Simon Tremaine, you have
misplaced your senses.

I have never lost anything in my life.

Now, I suggest that you organize a
constabulary search party for this.

Albert!

Albert, have you noticed any wrongdoing?

Uh... Well, I think I saw the man at the
first table stir his coffee with a soup

spoon. No, no, no, no. The big king's
handbag. It...

Missing. Would

now

be a good time to show you Avonlea?

Or do you have plans with your father?

No, not the perfect time.

You can ride a bicycle, can't you?

Thought you knew how to ride.

It looks easy enough.

Are you hurt?

Only my pride.

Didn't anyone ever teach you?

My nanny didn't know how.

What about your father?

Oh, he knew, but... At least you're
busy.

There must be something in not having a
famous father.

Oh, it's something, all right.

Come on.

I'll teach you how to ride.

Don't worry. I'm holding on.

Now go back.

Back there.

Come on.

Let it go.

No. Let it go.

No, I won't.

Fine.

Oh, Danny Stewart will be missed.

But we've a good man here in Alley King.
If we can convince him to run.

Everybody bent his arm a little.

It'll be broke by the time we get
through with him.

What about the prohibition question?

Oh, personally, I'm against prohibition.
I enjoy having a brandy every now and

then. How about you, Alley King?

Oh, yeah, now and then.

But be that as it may, my own personal
beliefs must take a back seat to the

wishes of my constituency.

If the island's against liquor, the
Confederation Party will not stop you.

Here, here.

What about banning the motor car?

Automobiles frighten horses, cattle,
wives, children. It's a popular rural

issue, and we'd be fools to fight it.

Well, what about the three -hall system?

Island farmers have to pay the PEI
railway, then the steamer, and then the

interprovincial railway just to get
their goods to market on the mainland.

Farmers need reasonable freight rates.

I'm in full agreement.

The government should force the railways
to guarantee us the same freight rates

they have in the mainland.

That's a good idea, Alec.

I dare say he'll be collecting votes
before he's even on the ballot with talk

like that.

We'll see why I want him to run.

Where are you going? I'm thirsty.

Oh, well, that place isn't very good.

You don't want to go in there. Too
expensive.

Two drinks. How much could it be?

Well, I'll just wait out here.

Come on, Felix.

No, you go ahead.

I'll guard the bicycles.

Felix.

Aren't you going to introduce me?

Uh, Flifty Adeline, Adeline Flifty.

Except he left out the part about my
being his sister.

I try not to think about that.

Well, it's very nice to meet you.

I would like some hot cider. How about
you, Felix?

Uh, sure. My treat.

You're actually going to spend money on
someone else?

Do you have any postcards?

Yes, we do. They're right over there.

Would you like to buy some chocolate,
Felix?

It's very romantic.

That will be four cents.

Oh, I'm sorry. I only have a ten dollar
bill.

Well, I'll just have to see if I can get
you some change.

All right, let's see.

That's one.

Three, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten.

Well, you've cleaned me out.

I'd count that change if I were you.

Any person or party that lowers freight
rates gets his vote.

I'll see to that.

Well, Bert, what do you think?

I never liked John Hudson or the
Confederation Party.

But if you end Freehall, you'd get my
vote.

Government won't do that.

A Confederation government will do that.

You want my opinion?

Mm -hmm.

You should run for office.

Albert,

my sandbag.

It's not mine.

It's your aunt's.

Yeah, what are you doing with it?

Found in the rubbish.

Money's gone.

Your aunt sure was right. It was stolen.

Who stole it then?

The brooch. The handbag. Both stolen
since he started to work here.

Do you think Albert's a thief?

He's as poor as a church mouse. The
temptation may be too much for him.

Because if he is a thief, why was he
marching around with a handbag?

Well, maybe he wants people to think he
found it so they won't suspect him.

You presume a certain degree of
cleverness.

Nevertheless, an interesting theory.
Watch him closely.

Oh, and Felix, you're going to have to
finish the linens.

The laundress is taking now.

Oh, no.

I don't usually travel with my father.

After my mother died, he sent me off to
a boarding school in Ottawa.

Do you like it there?

Oh, well, it's not as pretty as Avonlea.

Your father wants my father to run for
office.

I could end up living in Ottawa.

Oh, well, then maybe I could show you
around.

Hello, Albert. How are you?

Fine and good.

Fine and good.

I need some more towels for the guest
rooms.

Thanks.

Nice of you to help out, Miss Hodgson.

Oh, well, it's enough fun to make me
think that I'll be ironing again one

I hope you're on the alert, Felix, and
noted how many towels he took.

Adeline Hodgson.

Surely you're not working here, too.

Now, Felix, I have $12 here from tickets
sold to your father's fundraiser.

$12.

And given the recent criminal activity
around here, I think it best that you

lock it up in the safe.

Mr. Tremaine's already there? Oh, no,
he's not.

Taken to his quarters, claims he's ill.

Men, really.

Well, here it is.

Go on, do as I say.

Come on.

Mr. Tremaine and I are the only ones who
know the combination.

You made me swear to secrecy on a
cookbook.

That's this idea of a joke.

Come in.

Will you have a scotch?

Oh, no, no. It's a bit early in the day.

Well, have you had a chance to make up
your mind?

Well, to tell you the truth, I've been
talking to farmers in the area about my

proposal to end the three -hall system.

I'm beginning to think I could make a
difference.

But, now, you should know, Alec, our
party has always received substantial

financial support from the railroad
people.

Naturally, they want to protect their
interests, but...

It's our job, well, the job of elected
officials, that is, to see that the

interests of the voters are protected.
Which is why it's an excellent issue for

after the election.

Let the railroad finance us into office,
then wrestle with them.

No, but if you take their money...
Money, how you will come to hate the

Do you know how much you'll have to
raise for the campaign?

Well, I haven't got that far yet.

This year we'll be paying $5 or a bottle
of rum per vote.

I beg your pardon?

I know, it's a lot.

You're buying votes?

Well, renting, actually. They only give
it to us for a day.

Well, it's common on the mainland, Alec.
And now on most parts of the island.

Well, not in these parts.

Well, progress takes three things.

A good idea.

The ability to persuade people you have
a good idea.

and the resources to buy the support of
those folks you can't persuade.

How do you think I got that bridge built
across the Hillsborough?

Money talks, Alec.

No one likes it.

No one.

But it's part of the system.

Everyone does it. And if we don't, we
lose.

Well, thanks for helping out.

It was fun folding laundry.

I had good, clean fun.

Bye.

Did

I just say

goodbye?

What are you doing?

Just changing the towels.

Look.

Look, the brooch. I found Mrs. Milling's
brooch. It was in Adeline's room.

What were you doing in her room?

Well, I was changing the towels, and I
accidentally knocked over the wash

and there it was.

I don't believe it.

Well, I found it there.

She was hiding it.

Why would she take that in the first
place?

For the money. She's rich. She doesn't
need the money.

I don't know why she did it.

All I know is that she did.

No, she didn't.

You did.

You put it there.

What?

Mr. Chimay, I found the brooch.

Oh, well, Dud Elbert, where was it?

It was in Adeline's room.

I guess you were a little distracted
when you were searching there. Good

Elvis. Fine and good.

Mrs. Billing will be delighted.

I

think

Father would make a dashing member of
Parliament.

Would he eat in restaurants?

You get to travel.

And you wouldn't miss out on these?

Well, Ottawa has a lot to offer.

Such as a certain bicycle -riding
companion?

Oh,

he's looking on the bright side.

After all, you could be elected, you
know, if you put your mind to it.

Well, I'd draw the line at buying votes.

I'd have to win on my own merits or stay
right here, which is probably for the

best.

I can't imagine us living anywhere else.

It could be very good for the children
to be exposed to new ways.

There's a teacher's college near Ottawa,
and Felicity could go there.

So you think I should do it?

Well, I... I think you could do it.

Well, there's certain aspects of
political life that I...

I just don't care for her.

Oh, but Alec, you could change things
for the better. You could do a lot for

farmers.

Of course.

Entirely up to you if you do decide to
give it a go, but if you do,

I'll be right beside you.

Painted arm.

You did put the envelope containing the
money in here, didn't you?

Yes, sir, I did.

Did Albert see you open it?

No, he didn't. He was staring at the
safe his first day here, remember?

He found the brooch.

He claimed he found Hetty's handbag.

I'll bet if we searched him, we'd find
that $10 bill.

I'm telephoning Constable Sallows.

Mr. Germain, I don't think Albert did
it.

Why not?

Well, he couldn't have died.

Who was it then?

Probably just one big misunderstanding.

Don't call the constable yet.

Give me an hour.

Ten minutes.

Can I come in?

Um, I'm alone. It wouldn't be proper.

It's important.

What is it, Felix?

Mr. Tremaine, he's, uh, gonna fire
Albert for stealing.

Oh, well, that's terrible.

Especially if he didn't do it.

Well, what was stolen?

Do you remember the money that you saw
me put in the safe?

It's gone.

But Albert didn't know the combination.

And Mr. Tremaine thinks Albert took my
aunt's purse.

It had a $10 bill inside.

Just like the $10 bill you used at the
general store.

Remember?

And the brooch.

Remember Mrs. Milling's brooch?

It was lost and suddenly it just
reappeared.

Well, I never had the brooch.

Albert planted it in my room and then he
said he found it.

How do you know Albert was the one who
found the brooch?

Oh, well, I just naturally assumed
that... How do you know Albert was the

who found it here?

Unless you hid it here and it went
missing after he was in your room.

Who cares about a stupid brooch anyways?

Where are you stealing things?

Why did you take the money from a thief?

I'm taking money from my own father's
campaign.

People stuff envelopes of money into his
pockets every day.

Why shouldn't I have a little fun?

You stole Miss Millingsbrook's for fun?

I was going to give it back.

Albert will lose his job and go to jail.

What about him?

Well, I can't help him.

If my father finds out what I did, he'll
kill me.

Is that all you care about?

Yourself?

I thought you liked me.

You do.

Then there's no reason to be excited
over something as mundane as money.

Just calm yourself and keep quiet.

Please.

Do you want to keep a corrupt government
in office?

Buying votes is just not something I
want to be a part of, John. I have my

principles. As do I.

But I have both eyes open.

The other parties buy votes, so we have
no choice, don't you see?

If we're going to be too clean to fight,
we'll be sitting in this room arguing

principles while those thieves in Ottawa
are robbing the country blind.

You don't want that, do you? Oh, no, of
course not.

Tell you what.

Toss your head in the ring and leave the
solicitation of votes to me in the

party.

We need your good name to build our
ticket.

Say yes.

Come in.

What is it, son?

Go ahead, Felix.

It's about your daughter Adeline, sir.

She was telling me she was spending some
time in your company. Well, you're a

good lad. It's fine with me.

It's not that, sir.

I'd like to have a word in private.

Well, I've been trying to show your
father I have nothing to hide.

Go ahead.

No one's going to bite.

Your daughter, Adeline, sir, she's...
She's a very nice girl.

Alec, is he about to ask my daughter's
hand?

But she's stealing.

She stole an old family brooch from Mrs.
Milling.

She stole my aunt Hattie's purse and ten
dollars.

She took money from the safe in Mr.
Tremaine's office. Who knows what else?

Felix, I hope you have evidence.

Evidence? The boy's crazy.

She has to confess or Albert will go to
jail.

Please, get your son out of here.

I'm not lying.

Alec? Ask her yourself. She admitted it
to me.

It's obviously some misunderstanding,
which I'm sure other people will try to

turn to their political advantage.

Well, maybe we should give this Elwood
some money till he can find a new job.

Now, you're a smart lad.

You can handle this, and there's
something for your trouble.

He doesn't want money, Mr. Hodgson. He
wants justice.

Well, this is more than fair.

Your daughter was stealing.

Now, she doesn't need the money, so the
reason she's stealing is obviously

something is making her terribly
unhappy.

Keep your small -town, paltry homespun
advice to yourself.

Now that, that is the most honest thing
I've heard from you yet, Mr. Archson.

Come on, Felix.

Your good sense is wasted around here.

You better, uh...

Save that money to buy votes, Mr.
Hodgson.

It's the only way you'll get it, once
people get to know you.

Having considered the matter with the
greatest of gravity, having interviewed

all parties involved, it appears that
the matter is a childish prank.

Since everything's been returned, no
charges will be laid.

Mr. Tremaine.

I seem to have come down with a head
cold myself.

We'll have to cancel the fundraising
dinner.

Oh, consider it canceled.

We'll be leaving presently.

Would you look after our bags, please?

Come along, Adeline.

Adeline.

I'm sorry I got you in trouble with your
father.

He didn't.

He didn't even punish me.

All he said was... that he was going to
have a long talk with the headmistress

of my school.

But my real punishment now is knowing
what you must think of me.

Felix, I'm so sorry.

It won't ever happen again, I promise.

Don't promise me.

Promise yourself.

our new assistant head waiter.

Congratulations.

Looks like we won't be going to Ottawa.

Yeah, I guess I ruined things for you.

No, no.

There's lots of ways to make a
difference in the world, Felix.

One of the most important is how you
raise your children.

I couldn't be more proud of you if you'd
been elected prime minister.
